The fellow was very cute
in practicing his game of dodge and peep, and our hero was unable to see
his face, so he finally determined to make it a counter dodge and peep,
but his man dodged out of the way like the man at the window, and Oscar
lost sight of him.
As stated, he appeared at the meeting place and the girl was there
waiting for him.
"You are on time," he said.
"Yes, I am here."
"You are very kind."
"I promised."
"I will pay you for the trouble you have taken."
The girl was thoughtful and silent. She did not start, but stood, as
intimated, lost in deep thought. Finally she asked:
"Will you tell me why you wish to meet Argetti?"
"I wish to ask him some questions."
"No, that is not your purpose."
"Well, no, that is not my purpose, but I am permitted to name my
business to Argetti only."
The girl looked around in a furtive manner and said:
"Can I advise you?"
"Yes."
"Do not go to meet Argetti to-night."
"Why not?"
"Do not ask any questions, but heed my warning.
